Ironic...when I brought up guillotines, I was taken to task by one reminding me how revolutions get out of hand (like that one in France a while back). My retort was, in effect, (embarrassed) "the lesser of two evils." In this case, a few babies out with the bathwater or nuclear holocaust. Geeze, Louise, why is everything so complicated?
Ah, if only "justice" were just. I need not remind you that Donald Trump is guilty of war crimes as well. Just on the basis of his assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, Trump would qualify. However, it seems that in the USA, war crimes are not a chargeable offense. So they busted him on trumped up charges.
As a side note, Joe Biden, guilty of far worse crimes than Donald Trump (both of the war-crime and financial crime categories) is also not chargeable because "he is too senile to stand trial."
It's a clown world and it would be a comedy, except that it is a horrific tragedy.
There's a theory out there that Western ruling elites never got over 1789, and everything since has been a kind of revenge tour on the Peasants. There's an argument, too, that 1789 doesn't happen without 1776 happening before, although 1776 looks more like a provincial aristocracy overthrowing the bigger aristocracy across the Pond. "Biden, Obama, W Bush" (BOB): they've more than earned their Guillotine Date...

I also want to thank you for consistently engaging with our content, John. Your comments are always very meaningful.
I would argue (convincingly) that the U.S. revolution has gotten out of hand.
Well John, maybe it's not complicated, but is only made to seem and feel that way ...

Amen, brother.

we did point that out in this episode. Yes, he is a war criminal. We support guillotine for him, but not this bullshit.
As a side note, Joe Biden, guilty of far worse crimes than Donald Trump (both of the war-crime and financial crime categories) is also not chargeable because "he is too senile to stand trial."

Yep. Thanks for your comments, as always, Ned!
Cheers!
Ha ha Ned, yeah that "trumped up charges" phrase is just irresistible. I couldn't resist either ...

Blind justice
Dunno if y'all caught this one from Etienne ... he hit the ball out of the park and it rolled right up to the guillotine 😜

Thanks for posting this much needed conversation Cindy, although the wildly baffling orange worship is beyond intractable and seemingly incurable.
The good news is that it does not take a majority to prevail, at least according to Sam Adams.
That reminds me ... think I'll have a beer.
